Thanks guys i used my brain and googled it instead right after i asked, but hopefully someone saw this and learned something. Ill look over the auras Volitar posted in a bit. I used to hate this addon but now that i understand it i dont think i can live without it Thanks again.

I use the powerful conditional options available in Weak Auras to make the decision making a little easier. I have one aura that shows at Lightning Shield = 7 and Flame Shock time remaining > 5 seconds.

I have an additional aura to help with the early Earth Shock to discharge 4-6 stacks of Lightning Shield when my Flame Shock timer is running down. This aura shows when Lightning Shield stacks are >=4 and <=6 and the Flame Shock timer is > 5 and < 10.

I'm sure this comes natural to many people and they don't need an aura to help them, but I found it helped me to stop letting 5-6 stacks roll over through my Flame Shock refresh.

Endus has a pretty good one that shows each stack, then the 7th as a larger glowy one, as part of his weakauras package. While the rest of his package didn't really do it for me (no offense ), I kept that part of it because it's beautiful and effective. The string should be in the ele guide thread in the first section, from memory. While it's not exactly what you're after, I find it really helpful to see just how many stacks I have to help with planning ahead.

To counter that, I still use all of endus' weak auras today, and find them excellent.

Oh I'm not saying they're bad, at all. They're brilliant. I tried all of them at the start of MoP and while they do the job perfectly, and look amazing, I felt a little bit overwhelmed. They're just a little bit too...flashy for me? That's not the right word, but...I just prefer to track things in different ways. Totally personal thing.
